Should he pour energy and time into Zushi and Wing?
From the moment the fight ended until now, Moro had already made a decision.
He could invest time and energy into this matter, provided there was a return.
Moro walked ahead, leading Zushi and Wing directly to the 200th floor.
After a contestant is promoted to the 200th floor, they must register before midnight that day, otherwise, they will be considered to have forfeited their qualification.
Taking the elevator to the 200th floor, Moro followed the signs on the wall to the registration office.
However, after walking only a short distance, a hostile intent surged from the front.
This murderous intent was not intense.
But it was undoubtedly directed at Moro.
Facing the sudden aura of hostility, Moro's expression remained unchanged, and he proceeded forward.
There was clearly more than one person releasing the killing intent, and it wasn't overly aggressive, amounting to a small show of force at most.
Of course—
If Moro were not a Nen user, there would be no Nen-infused killing intent here.
After all, a novice who doesn't understand Nen is equivalent to a walking ATM for victory points.
When contestants on the 200th floor see one, they welcome them warmly and wouldn't dream of scaring them away.
A murderous aura, like thick smoke, emerged from both sides of the hallway corner, filling the only path to the registration office.
This level of aura was as ordinary as air in front of Moro.
But for Zushi and Wing behind Moro, the feeling was completely different.
Although they were only collateral damage, they felt a tangible sensation of being submerged in a chilling, bone-piercing deep sea.
"What exactly is this..."
Zushi and Wing felt their bodies turn cold.
Each step felt as heavy as if their feet were weighted with lead.
Yet—
We have to follow!
Seeing Moro, who showed no intention of stopping, the two could only grit their teeth, driving their heavy steps with willpower, barely managing to keep up with Moro.
Moro never looked back, but he could hear the heavy breathing of Zushi and Wing.
"Not bad."
Muttering to himself, Moro appropriately slowed his pace.
If he were in their shoes, he might not have performed better than the two of them.
Soon, Moro arrived at the hall where the registration office was located and quickly scanned his surroundings.
People were standing at the corners of the hallways leading to various areas and by the walls where vending machines were placed.
Their eyes were uniformly focused on Moro.
Moro naturally ignored this group of Nen users waiting for an opportunity.
He walked directly to the registration office and completed the signing and registration under the guidance of the lady at the counter.
Competitions above the 200th floor are changed to a self-declared combat system.
Contestants can choose any day to fight, as long as it is within the 90-day limit.
Moro currently had no intention of declaring a fight.
After completing the signing and registration, he led the sweating Zushi and Wing to their newly assigned room.
"How does it feel?"
In the new room, Moro looked at Zushi and Wing.
Both their faces were slightly pale.
Negative emotions infused with Nen are an irresistible mental attack for ordinary people.
Zushi said with a serious expression,
"I felt like I was about to suffocate. I could clearly feel resistance walking forward."
"My feeling is similar... like walking underwater."
Wing raised a hand to wipe the sweat from her neck, frowning as she said,
"Was it those people near the registration office..."
"Yes, they were behind it."
Moro looked at the two and said calmly,
"However, they were targeting me, not you. It's just that the power of 'Nen' poses too great a threat to ordinary people, so even a slight residual effect is enough to make it difficult for you to move."
"Nen...!"
Zushi and Wing were invigorated.
The personal experience they just had made them desire this unknown power even more.
At this moment, they only wanted to know if they had the conditions to learn this power.
"Mr. Moro, can I learn..."
"Everyone can master this ability after training."
Moro knew what the two were going to ask and interrupted immediately.
Without waiting for their reaction, his tone suddenly became serious:
"I can help you awaken this power, but I have one condition."
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Zushi and Wing stared intently at Moro.
Meeting their questioning gazes, Moro said:
"I must kill a certain person within a year. That person's strength is extremely formidable, so... I will teach you Nen, but you must 'assist' me in killing that person. This may cost you your lives."
Here, Moro paused, subtly observing their reactions, seeing no hesitation whatsoever.
"Of course..."
He immediately added,
"It doesn't matter if you refuse. I will still tell you the secrets of 'Nen.' As for how to awaken this power, you will have to figure it out on your own."
"Mr. Moro, I have no problem!"
As Moro's voice fell, Wing expressed her determination without hesitation.
This time, she was quicker than Zushi.
Zushi followed suit, saying,
"I also have no problem."
In their eyes, when Moro offered to lead them into the so-called world of 'Nen,' it was equivalent to establishing a teacher-student relationship.
And if a teacher asks a student to do something, the student naturally has no objections.
"Good."
Moro smiled.
Compared to Wing, Moro understood Zushi better.
However, in his opinion, Wing's character was also not bad.
His basis was that on the day of the preliminary match, Wing, seeing his youth, deliberately held back her strength during her first attack.
Moro placed a finger against his chin, thinking internally:
Zushi is an Enhancer, and Wing should be an Emitter... I'll need the Water Divination Test to know the exact category.
His thoughts returning, Moro skipped the lengthy introduction about Nen and suddenly asked the two:
"Are you afraid of death?"
Facing Moro's sudden question, Zushi and Wing naturally answered no.
So—
Moro immediately used the forceful method of "Opening the Nen" to blast open the Shoko (Aura Nodes) in Zushi and Wing's bodies.
All at once, massive amounts of Nen, like steam, surged out of Zushi and Wing.
Then, uncontrollably, they shot up like pillars above their heads before quickly dissipating.
"This is... the power hidden within my body!"
Zushi's eyes reflected a bright light, indistinguishable between the Nen and a gleam of excitement.
Wing, however, looked gravely at the large amount of Nen rapidly leaking from above Zushi's head, muttering,
"If you don't control it before it completely leaks out, you will... die!"
Not far away.
Moro watched the two whose Aura Nodes had been forcibly opened with a calm expression.
The outflow of Nen from the body does not cause death.
However, if they fail to master Ten for a long time, allowing Nen to continuously leak out over an extended period, there is a risk of sudden death from exhaustion.
But this possibility was very low.
Moro telling them that the Nen outflow meant death was to make them learn Ten faster under the pressure of death.
He couldn't help it...
After all, his time was precious.
Buzz buzz—
The phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.
Moro took out his phone.
It was a message from Argo: The Phantom Troupe has shown up. They ransacked the Navis National Museum.
"Have they started to act..."
Moro narrowed his eyes as he read the message.
